fun fact: oda is well aware of the various youtube channels dedicated to studying the story and seeing where it could potentially go. oda said that he is amazed by not only how good they are but how much of the future story they were able to suss out.
Oda also said that because theorist understand so much, he avoids them so as not to assume what the regular watchers know and what he has to explain to the reader.
I suggest "WARNING: DO NOT READ ONE PIECE" by Mother's Basement. It goes into detail over why OP is so addictive and a bit more about Oda himself and what makes him so amazing as an author and person.
@@theduckgoesmoo I recommend a underated classic anime series called Lupin The Third The show fallows Lupin The Third the grandson of the fictional gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, is considered the world's greatest thief, known for announcing his intentions to steal valuable objects by sending a calling card to their owners. His right-hand man and best friend Jigen Daisuke, an expert marksman, Lupin and Jigen are often joined by Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a samurai swordsman whose sword can cut anything, and Fujiko Mine, a femme fatale and Lupin's on and off love interest. Lupin and his gang are constantly chased by Inspector Zenigata of Interpol, who has made it his life's work to arrest them, pursuing Lupin across the globe.
21:00 what's in it for the crew? Each of them has their own individual goals that line up well with luffy's goal. On top of each of the Straw Hats enjoying each other's company Zoro: become the world's greatest swordsman, so being the right hand of the pirate king is a good way to get that done Nami: create a map of the world, which since part of being pirate king is reaching the end of the world, her goals are in lockstep Sanji: find the all blue, an ocean that contains all the fish of the sea, so much like nami, a ship going to unexplored places is a good way to find that Usopp: become a brave warrior of the sea, teaming up with a future pirate king will get you that experience Chopper: become a doctor that can cure anything and be accepted, see nami and sanji Robin: discover the complete history of the world, the place where One Piece resides apparently holds that truth the world government has stamped out Franky: build and then serve as shipwright for the greatest ship ever, the pirate king's ship is a very good candidate Brook: conquer the Grand Line and return to his friend, the pirate king is considered the one who conquered the grand line Jinbe: create true understanding and camaraderie between humans and fishmen, probably the most personal to luffy himself, but a friendship with the pirate king would greatly influence others
great comment, though i have to correct you as Robin wants to know what happened during The Lost Century, not the entire history of the world, as all is known about the world's history, minus that century.
I think another point at the start too was that Luffy didn’t mind that his crew had other desires beyond his, because in his mind being a great pirate meant having freedom and so he believed his crew should be free to live out their own dreams as well
things to note: 4:34 the estimated cumulative revenue one piece has generated in just its comic sales alone is estimated to be somewhere between $9-10 billion as of currently 6:57 that elephant is more than 20 miles tall whenever there is a flashback that goes back to events the readers have already seen, oda redraws the scene from scratch. he does so because "showing my fans old drawings in a new chapter would feel like i was cheating them" 10:15 oda does have an assistant but by and large, every manga page you see in this video is his personal work 10:27 many of oda's major characters are visually stylized after famous people and some of them are named after either historical figures or reference other stories throughout our world 13:03 toriyama is credited for being the godfather of manga panel structure. he has gone on record to applaud oda on his ability to do the same 15:44 with proper organization and a full size book shelf, the entirety of one piece's volumes would fill roughly 3 sections give or take assuming all of the volumes bindings are visible 16:29 oda has been thinking about one piece since before the fall of the Soviet Union 16:56 oda held on to the payoff of silvers rayleigh for 10 years 17:57 1040 chapters now and there is still no pirate with an eyepatch 18:50 fans like to say that oda is the greatest fantasy author since j.r.r. tolkien, the man responsible for the lord of the rings 27:06 oda is also extremely good at addressing very heavy topics that many people would otherwise opt to avoid talking about entirely 28:18 nah, people just get big in this series 29:43 toei animation, especially in recent time, has developed a rather poor reputation for it's inconsistent animation quality among other things. that being said, the current arc of one piece has been regarded as the most consistent animation quality the company has produced in roughly a decade. the anime is as good as it is because it's oda's story. no experience comes close to the manga though the best way to start enjoying one piece is the same way the crew approaches finding the one piece. it's not about the treasure at the end. it's about the journey you take to get there. but the treasure is certainly a nice reward for an adventure well had, wouldn't you agree?
the way i like to explain oda is by saying "oda has a job, which is writing one piece. oda also has a hobby he's very fond of, and it's writing one piece." oda doesn't stop pumping out one piece. even when he's on break or sick, i can guarantee he's still got one piece churning away in his head.
“Bro there’s a wiki for this?” There usually is for just about anything. If there’s a show or game you like then there’s likely a wiki dedicated to that specific series.
here's a really, really fun fact about oda: he actually married one of his characters. years ago, there was a one piece live action stage show where former cosplayer and model chiaki inaba played nami, the strawhat's navigator. turns out, oda was backstage at that show and met up with chiaki. they hit it off, dated for a few years and then got married. they are living apart, due to oda's work schedule but they are still together after nearly 20 years. so yeah. oda married his own character. :D
Most people (fans included) are not able to understand how incredibly lucky we are to live in the same era as Oda, and how lucky we are to be able to live week by week receiving one more piece of the world he has created.
18:49 Tower of God is a webtoon with the same level of worldbuilding seen in one piece. It's already over 10 years old, with 500+ chapters and counting.
17:50 yeah apparently oda is saving that pirate trademark for something huge Even a thousand chapter later we still don’t see this famed pirate trademark
Let's not forget that Oda actually uses Fan-made One Piece websites and Wiki to check all the previous chapters for his future works because he can't remember all of the characters he made and which devil fruits exist and who holds which power.
One of the things that make One Piece unique compared to other series is that unlike other series, we get to meet the main characters the same time as Luffy meets them which makes us feel like we're travelling with Luffy whereas in most other series we have our whole main cast right from the first episode.
27:55 When taken a bit out of context, I suppose it's easy to say "Good for you" to Doflamingo. But I do wanna say that the hatred that the villagers feel for the Celestial dragons, which Doflamingo is a part of is very well deserved. Celestial dragons will do whatever they want with people because they see them as beings that are lower than dirt, to keeping slave, torture, kidnapping children and forcing them to eat devil fruits. They are HORRIBLE people, and Doflamingo, growing up, had the same mindset as the other celestial dragons. Always asking his father, "where are our slaves?" Of course there are some Celestial dragons that change their ways, one of them being Doflamingo's father, he realized theres more to life and wanted to experience being a normal human being. But he was too naive, and too hopeful; because of the actions and reputation celestial dragons have, they were immediately targeted because they were no longer in the governments protection. It was a way for the villagers to take out their anger on a clan that has ruined their lives forever, sure they are taking out their anger on people who wanted to change (well, mostly, cause Doflamingo was an assh0le even as a child) but they were too blinded by rage to see it. Everyone made mistakes during that moment, and for me, its a bit hard to say who was truly right and who was wrong.
standard reading is right to left. as for going top to bottom while reading in that direction in same panel varies from manga artist to manga artist. sometimes you even have to read into another panel before finishing the previous panel to make sense but that is rare to come across. now another thing to know about reading manga is that traditionally you start at the "back" of the back versus how we are use to starting a book. not all manga are like that but most are.
The thing about most of the videos on topics like this being 3-4 years old, is that they're still pretty up to date. In the years since this video has been posted we've only had two arcs, and one of which was only about four chapters long. The current Wano Country arc of the series has been going for 130+ chapters and almost a total of four years, with a decent chunk left of the story to go there before it finally reaches its conclusion. I'm sure once Wano ends there will be another wave of videos like these talking about how good everything is because I feel like everything has been improved upon very much since, but at the same time it's still only a single arc that isn't covered by videos like this yet.
damn, Wano is looking to be the most bloated of arcs in the whole series, i hope that Oda isnt padding all this stuff out just to help tie everything together, because i know Oda wants to finish One Piece and he's bound not to leave anything go unresolved.
@@UltimateGamerCC I treat Wano arc as multiple different arcs myself, separated by acts. ACT III alone is (almost?) as long as Dressrosa so even separated, they are full arcs in their own.
@@ahmadmanga Yeah I definitely look at Wano as three arcs put together. It's the actual section comprised of Wano, The Oden Flashback, and The Onigashima stuff making up one giant Wano Saga.
22:52 not really cause Pirate wore eyepatches mainly so they could switch it over to the other eye when going below deck that way the eye in darkness is more accustomed to the low light down there so if he wore an eyepatch in that way he wouldnt be able to see
While I do agree with some of the weak points he pointed out, most of them don't really faze me. The animation has it's weak points sure, but it only gets better as it goes on. And as for female characters, while Oda def could do better with more designs, it's not really something I've ever really cared about. The only one that stands out is the pacing issue for the anime. Some of the arcs drag out certain scenes more than I feel needed, especially when the episodes have a minute or two of recap along with the long intros. Even so, I only really noticed that more and had an issue with it in the last few months. Being caught up and having to wait a week in between each episode only to have a lot of the episode be the exact same as the last is really frustrating. But when you're just starting out and already have 1000 episodes to binge at your own pace you kinda forget about it. I personally still love the anime and do recommend you give it a watch if you're not into reading manga. While everyone would love to see you react to it, Toei also loves to copyright One Piece stuff, so you have to be real careful with the editing. Love the reaction, and would love to see more reactions to other one piece stuff while you decide if and how you want to tackle one piece itself.
Agreed. Really didnt gave a f*ck about its sub-standard animation and bad pacing. The "meat" of One Piece is the God-Tier story. Love the progression. Also, people forget the anime has at times CAUGHT UP with the manga and had to drag the episodes out( Dressrosa is a PRIME example). Its a TV weekly thing. It'll eventually catch up. Not to mention the BREAKS Oda needs to rest and freshen up. Drawing isnt an easy thing (like any other job) especially when theres a deadline.
I first got into One Piece in 2005 and sometimes I have dropped it for a year or two (or my entire tenure in university because I was busy), and catching up is always a hassle but damn, it's so good. I'm currently on my first reread in years, and I stop all the time and just whisper to myself "I love One Piece" or "I love this or that character so much." If you feel like getting into One Piece, I can't help but recommend it. And yes, Zoro was the first to join the crew. You were wondering what everyone in the crew gets from joining, besides family. All of them have a dream they can't really fulfill without traveling the world and learning more or becoming stronger. Some of them have even given up on their dreams until Luffy bullies (sometimes literally) them into joining the crew. You could try watching One Pace, which is a sort of One Piece anime supercut, that cuts out a lot of the filler in anime and tries to address the pacing issues mentioned in the video. So while it's still a lot, you would get through it a tad quicker. I haven't watched it myself (I dropped the anime in... uhhhh... 2013 maybe? or earlier? because of the pacing) and don't really know how they would feel about doing reaction videos to that (editing down would be necessary, I think). But you could also do what a lot of booktubers who got into the manga during covid have done, and watch the series arc by arc and then give a review, with maybe a few clips thrown in. That would also avoid copyright stuff and reduce the stuff you need to edit. Toei, the studio that does One Piece, has a bit of a bloodthirsty reputation when it comes to copyright (look up the Totally Not Mark situation from this winter if you want more info on that).
Doflamingo's father chose to live like a normal human is because despite all their wealth and power, the Celestial Dragons are still slave-owning dicks. In fact he's one of the few that actually seems like a likeable person.
“I don’t know how to read manga.” Understandable for a first timer. It’s right to left, it’s the same as a comic but reversed. English versions used to edit them so it’s left to right but that has fallen out of practice.
My uncle have been reading one piece since highschool. Now he is about 40 year old but still sometime he ask me if there is a new chapter :))) what a journey
2:27 Berserk author's dead, i assume his health can't get any worse than that and Eyepatch dude have no right to criticize Naruto and Bleach author like he didn't aware they all suffer health issues and had to be hospitalized since his bias-ness blinded him the fact that even Oda took medical hiatus from drawing and the fact that chapters of One Piece had skipped from range of one to two weeks. We all should be understanding towards author's hard work and accepted that not everyone capable of everything perfectly. Be a fan is good and all but don't be a fanatic or toxic one coz i know there's people like that down in the comments section.
yeah, it was good that he was trying to be a better person, but really the last thing you want anyone to know is that you were once in one of the most despised groups in all the world.
Shouldnt have renounced the title but left to rule their own land. Like how some celestial dragons still has title but changed due to being saved by peasants.
at around 21:00 you asked "what's in it for the crew?" and i just have to say it could be anything for each of them. a place to belong, a group of people that care about you, repaying a debt to someone, hell, even the journey itself.
Some spoilers for up to Enies Lobby: Oda uses the really well known pirate gimmicks solely for important characters. The hook hand pirate is Crocodile, who is one of the first Warlords we meet, is an saga villain, as well as one of the top 3 villains in the story so far. The peg leg pirate is Zeff, Sanji's teacher and father figure who owns the floating restraunt Baratie. The parrot pirate could be Rob Lucci, the final boss of Enies Lobby, and strongest of the assassins of CP 9. It could be argued that Oda hasn't used the parrot pirate yet, because Lucci only has a pigeon. This means that the eye patch pirate will likely be someone important.
Next One Piece video recommendation: "Why One Piece is the King of World Building" by Mr Morj. Lengthy, but so absolutely worth it. BTW, and I say this as a guy who definitely prefers the manga to the anime, this guy makes it sound like everyone hates the anime. They don't. It's literally the highest-rated anime of all time and many popular One Piece TH-camrs and reviewers (such as KingOfLightning) have stated that they wished they hadn't read the manga first so they could experience the story through the anime. In my opinion, the slower pace and heavier emphasis on characters helps people who don't have a week to analyze every individual chapter of the manga to fully take in that visual storytelling Oda's mastered, the music adds several times the weight to every emotional moment, the sound effects add several times the weight to every action scene. Not to mention that the anime is actually better-paced than the manga at times, like with the Lougetown, Thriller Bark, and even arguably the current arc. There is filler episodes and arcs whenever production gets too close to catching up with the manga, but it's also the best filler I've ever seen in an anime. It's all more worldbuilding and character interaction that's been given the thumbs-up from Oda himself. One mini-arc was so good, Oda made it canon right after it came out, and 1-2 Filler Arcs are loved and spoken highly of even by crazed "canon-only" fans. Of course, very little of it is nearly as good as the canon story, and 99% of reactors skip it, but the point isn't to say "watch the filler," but to show how much love and understanding for the source material the anime was made with. Unfortunately, One Piece has a very loud minority of Manga Elitists, one of the loudest of any anime Fandom I know. It's similar to watching an anime dubbed or subbed: Both options are usually good, but one specific side despises everyone on the other side with a passion. The manga is still better (for many reasons others have covered more throughly than me) but it's like comparing an experience that will 100% change your life to an experience that will 115% change your life. If the 100% is much easier to experience than the other, you'll probably pick that one.
I started with the manga and it will always be superior to me. That said, I do also love the anime. The voice acting, the soundtrack and visual effects are all now ingrained in my head whenever I read the manga. I do hope one day they either trim it a bit more for better pacing or give it a DragonBall kai treatment (reanimation like Wano?). (I can't 100% speak for fillers since I did skip some though a few I did enjoy).
Honestly as much as I hate the anime, the only thing really bad about it is the pacing. Everything else is either decent(animation) or top tier(Soundtracks)
Zoro is indeed the first member to join the Strawhats (and even hilariously questions what he got himself into). LONG POST ALERT W/ SPOILER: As for “what everyone gets out of it,” everyone has their own dreams and most of them connect to getting to Raftel in one way or another anyway: Zoro wants to become the world’s strongest swordsman by beating the current best. Nami wants (or wanted… they don’t bring it up often) to map out the world (or at least the route they’re taking). Usopp wants to become a real man/adventurer by facing his fears and possibly visit the giants’ home of Elbaf. Sanji wants to find the All Blue, a legendary sea in the Grand Line where all the world’s fish live, making it a chef’s paradise. Chopper wants to learn as much about medicine as he can to cure any illness he can. Robin wants to find the Rio Poneglyph (which is in the same location as the One Piece, which is cool) which holds a full century of history that was erased by the World Government. Franky wants the ship he made the crew to travel the world like his mentor’s ship did for the Pirate King. And Brook wants to travel with Luffy and then go back to Reverse Mountain to meet with a friend he left there to tell him about all of it.
oda is actually such a good author and if u dont read one piece u think im just being bias, he actually knows how to do mystery correctly, and makes u fall in love with EVERY CHARACTER i watched a bunch of dwarfs go to war and was ecstatic, every location is like its own world and the people are all different. Foreshadowing is by far one of odas specialties, and hes good at themes, the theme of will and dreams is heavy and its so inspiring when i watch fairy tale and see natsu scream about friendship for the 1000th time i rip my eyes out, but when i see luffy push past his limits im right in his corner telling him to get tf up u got more in u, oda knows how to show people surpassing their limits without being a cop out and hes not afraid to shw that the main character has no chance in wano currently the main boss has already beat luffy like four times😭😭😭😭 he just keeps coming back and luffy is the best mc cuz hes perfectly simple, and is the realest dude u would ever meet which is why even tho in marineford he was so weak compared to everyone fighting, they stood up for him cuz he showed more courage than anybody everytime they slapped him down he got back and just kept charging for his brother and when i say outmatched i mean OUTMATCHED almost every major player in that war at the time could one shot kill luffy but he never cared he just kept going and personally the best part for me is the theatrics, especially in the anime, odas fights and a lot of important moments are done in a theatric way and it feels so good to watch, like the first time watchign robin say "i want to live" or in fights the first time when i saw luffy finally defeated doffy it felt like i could breathe again i was on the edge of my seat cuz i was like 11 lmao but now i pay taxes and its still goated
Really glad you watched this one. I actually forgot on the previous Super Eyepatch Wolf video where I was doing recommendations, he's also done three videos on Wrestling. The second one, about longterm storytelling in general and The Undertaker in particular, was trapped in Copyright HFIL for a while, but seems to be back now. I know you've said "Wrestling's fake" and asked about the appeal once or twice, and that's what the first ones about so it's another I'd definitely recommend. I think that one is "Professional Wrestling is stupid and beautiful and I love it". And then the third is about heels (wrestling villains basically). I'd recommend the first one at the very least as it does a great job going into different aspects, some cool history and storylines, as well as the weird ways that real life events and scripted in-universe stuff can blend together and influence one another to the point of being indistinguishable from one another. I remember I once commented "Wrestling is a fictional universe in which we all canonically exist and can interact with the characters", I just find that concept interesting. As for One Piece, I'd definitely recommend the Mother's Basement ones as well. I was also thinking about if there were any games that would make getting the base story easier. I know that Pirate Warriors 1 covers from the start to just before the time skip, and 3 covers from the time skip to midway into Dressrossa and then has a game-only ending since it wasn't done at the time it was made (Pirate Warriors 2 was an original story). But I'm not sure if there are any others that cover large chunks of it in an enjoyable way. But maybe something to look into for the gaming channel given the difficulties of the actual show. Romance Dawn for the 3ds covers a good chunk of the pre-timeskip stuff, however I haven't played it myself and the reviews I've read were not good, so probably not a good way to experience it the first time.
The Strawhat crew members all have their own dreams that they want to accomplish as well and Luffy wants to help them do that. Also Nico Robin is probably the 2nd most important character in story but I won't say why in case you decide to read the manga or watch the show.
Oda stated that once a character with eye patch appears in the story then that mean the end is truly near. We have yet to see a eye patch character. Even though Oda stated a few years ago that the story is in its endgame stages.
When it comes to One Piece I highly suggest watching up until the time skip and pick up the manga there. However, you could keep watching from the time skip
The crew mates didnt join for the treasure. They all have their separate dreams and tagging along in Luffy's journey is kinda the best way to achieve it. Zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman and that title is held by a pirate, Nami wants to draw a full map of the world, so travelling with Luffy just makes sense, Sanji wants to find a mythic sea where you can find fish from all seas in the world, Chopper wants to cure every diseases, so going with Luffy helps him get all the possible knowledge, Robin wants to learn the whole history of the world, which happens to be tightly linked to the One Piece, Franky build their ship and his dream is for that ship to travel the whole world, so he wants to make sure the ship is good enough to make it, Usopp wants to become a brave warrior of the sea, so becoming a pirate just makes sense. Kinda amazing how they all have different goals that can be achieved by going with Luffy to find the One Piece
fun fact: according to Oda-chi once we see a character with an eyepatch in One Piece it means the end of One Piece is near so buckle up boy it's coming...
This guy's got another video that is called where to start or something like that about one piece and he goes into detail about different things and also talk sales a little bit and gives you a couple of interesting insights into some characters. Yeah I think it's called One piece where to start by super eyepatch wolf
If you want to do a manga reaction/review instead of one from an anime, it is available for free on VIZ media for the first read of any chapter. As for video suggestion, if you plan to continue watching a lot of content like this before starting the story, then I suggest ‘the breathtaking world of One Piece”, no major spoilers linked to characters or story but they do show all the locations you will visit and more (most of which you already know of). Anyways, thanks like always for the reaction!
I think people over hate the anime, it’s much worse when you are caught up because you wait a week for the story not to progress much but when you have all the episodes available I rarely found pacing to be an issue. It’s just my opinion though
20:58 each character has their own dreams that coincide with each other. Sanji wants to find the all blue a place where all fish from the seas come to so he has to travel through sea and he follows luffy because luffy captivated him and protected his drema for him. Ussop wants to be a brave man and what is better than be on the pirate king crew to become brave because the pirate king will pass through a lot of challenges. Nami wants to create a map of the entire world and grand part of one piece world is the sea so follow the pirates, Robin wants to find the history of the lost era and the only way to find it is through sea, franky wanted to create the best boat and he already did kind of but he wants to see where the pirate king can take his boat, brook wants to find laboon a whale that luffy promissed to come back after becoming the king of pirates, zoro wants to be the beat swordsman in the world and what is better to find opponents than being in the crew of the pirate king, chopper wants 2 things follow the doctor that saved his life and he said that the skulls of pirate flags are the freedom and that he should follow it that's part of the reason he is following luffy the some other part is that he wants to find a cure that can heal all diseases in the world so it's better to go to all kind of places and see the diseases, and jinbei is completing his promise to luffy dead brother and a promise to luffy itself.these are some part of what they gain following luffy but most of the part like 65% follow luffy because he is captivating and he stood up for each one of them and their dreams, his charismatic is what makes people follow luffy and desire to see his dream/goal being fulfilled.
People complain about the length of One Piece despite there being other popular series that are twice as long. Take Golgo 13 for example, made in 1968 and still going strong today, second to One Piece in manga sells.
So far, I've read 700 chapters of one piece. That's about 80 Volumes and it took about a decade to read them. It's pretty good. One reason it took so song because I had to wait for the volumes to be released.
@Order and MadnessI live in America. And as far as I know, there are about 91 volumes released. I haven't checked recently. It's been a few years since I read One Piece and I'm currently reading other manga.
Yeah funnily enough Oda tries really hard to avoid pirate stereotypes in the story. No pirate has had an eyepatch yet and only 1 in the story has had a peg leg
He specifically wants the pirate stereotypes for only one important character each. Crocodile was the hook hand pirate and Oda has stated a character with an eyepatch will appear one day.
If you like this guy's videos on One Piece I'd highly recommend DBZimran's Bleach videos. In particular, his rebuttal videos towards Eyepatch Wolf's Downfall of Bleach and his "Apology" video. They're a great watch that shows just how great Bleach's story and characters are, and also how a certain video caused the internet to turn on it just as it was wrapping up.
Fun fact in the one piece world since luffy left his village to become a pirate has been from 2 to 3 year. Luffy was 17 when he started and now Currently is 19 years old.
Do not be worried about that critique of the anime, it is not nearly as awful as people like eyepatch wolf claim it to be and the voice acting for both versions does make it worth it. The funimation dub is one of the best I've ever heard and they'll be caught up with the japanese version pretty soon too.
Highly recommend watching it if you can find the time. Well worth it. Just find a list of the episodes you should skip though, as it'll cut down on the unnecessary filler episodes (with a handful actually being fun or worth the watch), and let you keep up with the main narrative.
So yes. Oda draws ALL of the characters by himself, by hand. He has assistants that help with drawing background scenes and with some of the shading and finer details, but he has expressed that he alone makes sure to draw each and every living creature in the whole manga. AND Oda wrote the whole series, with only small bits of help from editors and adding in characters on whims. He is an absolute madlad
Can you react to The Captain & Swordsman from GrandLineReview. It’s a One Piece analysis video on Luffy and Zoro’s relationship. Also Zoro was the second crew mate and is regarded as the “vice captain.” So you meet him like episode 2.
Little fun fact: if you don't know (somehow) one piece has some fan games. One of the most popular is in Roblox, called Blox Fruits. Here's another one I found on the app store, One piece: bounty rush I think? But yeah it had bounty rush. Hope you play atleast one game, thank you for reading and have a good day/night.
Whenever you do decide to watch or read the series I would recommend finding or having a fan make a guide on what episodes are filler and when to take a break to avoid burn out.
Filler in One Piece is still good compared to every other Anime TBH, And I especially Recommend the G8 Filler Arc as it is prolly the best Filler Arc in all of Anime
I was wondering if you'd also react to the 24th one piece opening called "Paint".. in the opening reactions from you, you had reacted to the special opening from the 1000th episode and not the actual 24th opening 😅😅
its hard to tell the exact in world length of time do to travel not always being noted there was a two year skip and if i remeber off the top of my head in world its been around four to five years
a anime i really like is Jojos Bizarre Adventure super eyepatch wolf has a video called why you should watch/read Jojos Bizarre Adventure he has 5 parts of it.
Do you not realize that most lesser media than One Piece have Wiki pages? They in and of themselves are not surprising. The detail by which someone edits the lesser ones are usually the surprising parts. 19:32 Fix that immediately. Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest anime of all time.
Watching one piece is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. Do not be intimidated by its length. Once you’re caught up, you will wish you weren’t lol. Trust me.
I would say reading one piece and then reviewing each arc would be better than reaction it will be faster first of all as current arc convert 2 ch into 3ep so it slow but great if i had an option when I watch op for the first time I would be reading manga than watch the iconic scene in animes though anyhow i finished op in 1 month when it has 890 ep and then finish manga in another 2 months Though ep reaction or arc review whatever you do I will watch
Something I'm thinking you could maybe try doing would be to do a manga reaction of One Piece, where you read it and then give your thoughts and opinions on the bit that you read in a video.
To answer your question about in world time: about 3 years or a little less, but also keep in mind that the main characters took 2 years off to train, so that's about 6 months of this little rubber man and his buddies wre king everything, 2 years where everyone could catch their breath, then another 5 months of even more tomfuckery
You guessed big mom had a devil fruit power but she didn’t eat a fruit to get her power… She ate a person… she got the power by cannibalizing her “mother” (the person who adopted her)
@@kisdota she wasn’t a good person but I don’t think anybody deserves death by cannibalism. If someone does deserve death it should never be by cannibalism
If you wanna see what the world of One piece look like, there is this awesome video where you see clips of the islands shown in the anime. If you have the time, it's call, "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" by "Strawhat V" Highly recommended
One piece has some incredible moments, i would say better than most anime/manga out there. But it's hard to ignore the in-between said moments. Rob Lucci vs Luffy is one of the highlights of it's arc... But to get there... There is alllll this other crap around it that makes the pacing hellish. Cutting again and again from it to accompany what's happening with other ppl. That being said as well not all of one-piece arcs are amazing. Some are downright boring... And getting through them is such a slow process. Even more lately as oda has mastered the ability of stalling to the highest level i could ever imagine... The current arc began on chapter 909 and it is still not over at chapter 1040. That's 140 chapter... 140 weeks, approximately 2 years and 9 months no counting any breaks he took. 2 years and 9 months on an arc. 1 arc.
One piece is a series that i have GBs of data on my phone because i'll be reading and think wow that's a great panel *screenshot* Personally I avoid the anime because of the pacing, but they have to drag out 3 manga panels to 5 mins of slow mo because they produce episodes so fast they keep catching up to oda and have add a bunch of filler until oda puts out another 10 chapters.
There is a project called "One Pace" that is a fan project of re-editing all the episodes of one piece to fix the pacing problems so it correspond more to the manga, this also has the effect of drasticaly reducing the amount of episodes it has. There are a lot of people that are really strict about not watching edited episodes, but i still think its a good and a way less intimidating way to get introduced to the serie.
The issue with things like One Pace is that it literally cuts out EVERYTHING that isn't in the manga which makes things impossible to follow if it's your first time through the series. Things cut and jump around so sporadically that you're going to struggle keeping up unless you're very familiar with the series. It also straight up removes a lot of things that the anime does better then the manga, like A LOT of the filler that's been added in Wano to make things more cohesive. There's no shortcuts for getting into the series. You either read or watch everything if you want the experience. It's length isn't something that will be a negative once you're actually into it.
Definitely watch his video on why you should watch Hajime no Ippo In fact... watch Hajime no Ippo itself too while you're at it. LMAO I dunno why, but you just look like a sporty dude, and I feel like you'd have lots of fun with a boxing anime like that. Edit: If you do watch Ippo... go for sub... not dub.... you'll thank me. Normally I'm more open to dubs than most... But not for Ippo
Could you react to "the breathtaking world of One Piece" by 'Strawhat V'? It's the best video I've seen so far in terms of giving you a feel of the One Piece World.😁
If you do react to One Piece: don't let anyone pressure you into a pace you don't like. It's a long series and it's more about enjoying the journey, not the destination. People will try to pressure you to do a ton of episodes fast. As always, loved the vid. ^^
fun fact: oda is well aware of the various youtube channels dedicated to studying the story and seeing where it could potentially go. oda said that he is amazed by not only how good they are but how much of the future story they were able to suss out.
That’s why I have avoided looking at theories.
Stuff like that has always made me wonder if when they hear these theories do they go “…. Shit that’s good, got to write that down”
Hey, hey, source?
@@ThunderTrovoadas SBS if you search for "sbs" and "youtubers" you will find it, I think it's fairly recent.
Oda also said that because theorist understand so much, he avoids them so as not to assume what the regular watchers know and what he has to explain to the reader.
I suggest "WARNING: DO NOT READ ONE PIECE" by Mother's Basement. It goes into detail over why OP is so addictive and a bit more about Oda himself and what makes him so amazing as an author and person.
oh that ones so good! yes please do this!!
Hmmm will do!
@@theduckgoesmoo I recommend a underated classic anime series called Lupin The Third
The show fallows Lupin The Third the grandson of the fictional gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, is considered the world's greatest thief, known for announcing his intentions to steal valuable objects by sending a calling card to their owners. His right-hand man and best friend Jigen Daisuke, an expert marksman, Lupin and Jigen are often joined by Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a samurai swordsman whose sword can cut anything, and Fujiko Mine, a femme fatale and Lupin's on and off love interest. Lupin and his gang are constantly chased by Inspector Zenigata of Interpol, who has made it his life's work to arrest them, pursuing Lupin across the globe.
What if people just look at the title without watching the video
@@mrcat4508 The thumbnail shows that the video isn't talking bad about One Piece lol
21:00 what's in it for the crew? Each of them has their own individual goals that line up well with luffy's goal. On top of each of the Straw Hats enjoying each other's company
Zoro: become the world's greatest swordsman, so being the right hand of the pirate king is a good way to get that done
Nami: create a map of the world, which since part of being pirate king is reaching the end of the world, her goals are in lockstep
Sanji: find the all blue, an ocean that contains all the fish of the sea, so much like nami, a ship going to unexplored places is a good way to find that
Usopp: become a brave warrior of the sea, teaming up with a future pirate king will get you that experience
Chopper: become a doctor that can cure anything and be accepted, see nami and sanji
Robin: discover the complete history of the world, the place where One Piece resides apparently holds that truth the world government has stamped out
Franky: build and then serve as shipwright for the greatest ship ever, the pirate king's ship is a very good candidate
Brook: conquer the Grand Line and return to his friend, the pirate king is considered the one who conquered the grand line
Jinbe: create true understanding and camaraderie between humans and fishmen, probably the most personal to luffy himself, but a friendship with the pirate king would greatly influence others
great comment, though i have to correct you as Robin wants to know what happened during The Lost Century, not the entire history of the world, as all is known about the world's history, minus that century.
I think another point at the start too was that Luffy didn’t mind that his crew had other desires beyond his, because in his mind being a great pirate meant having freedom and so he believed his crew should be free to live out their own dreams as well
things to note:
4:34 the estimated cumulative revenue one piece has generated in just its comic sales alone is estimated to be somewhere between $9-10 billion as of currently
6:57 that elephant is more than 20 miles tall
whenever there is a flashback that goes back to events the readers have already seen, oda redraws the scene from scratch. he does so because "showing my fans old drawings in a new chapter would feel like i was cheating them"
10:15 oda does have an assistant but by and large, every manga page you see in this video is his personal work
10:27 many of oda's major characters are visually stylized after famous people and some of them are named after either historical figures or reference other stories throughout our world
13:03 toriyama is credited for being the godfather of manga panel structure. he has gone on record to applaud oda on his ability to do the same
15:44 with proper organization and a full size book shelf, the entirety of one piece's volumes would fill roughly 3 sections give or take assuming all of the volumes bindings are visible
16:29 oda has been thinking about one piece since before the fall of the Soviet Union
16:56 oda held on to the payoff of silvers rayleigh for 10 years
17:57 1040 chapters now and there is still no pirate with an eyepatch
18:50 fans like to say that oda is the greatest fantasy author since j.r.r. tolkien, the man responsible for the lord of the rings
27:06 oda is also extremely good at addressing very heavy topics that many people would otherwise opt to avoid talking about entirely
28:18 nah, people just get big in this series
29:43 toei animation, especially in recent time, has developed a rather poor reputation for it's inconsistent animation quality among other things. that being said, the current arc of one piece has been regarded as the most consistent animation quality the company has produced in roughly a decade. the anime is as good as it is because it's oda's story. no experience comes close to the manga though
the best way to start enjoying one piece is the same way the crew approaches finding the one piece. it's not about the treasure at the end. it's about the journey you take to get there. but the treasure is certainly a nice reward for an adventure well had, wouldn't you agree?
That is soooo much money and a 20 mile tall elephant?? Jesus Christ…. To be in the same category as the lord and the rings is also insane
the way i like to explain oda is by saying "oda has a job, which is writing one piece. oda also has a hobby he's very fond of, and it's writing one piece."
oda doesn't stop pumping out one piece. even when he's on break or sick, i can guarantee he's still got one piece churning away in his head.
I think he works around 20h a day and only meets his family once a week.
“Bro there’s a wiki for this?”
There usually is for just about anything. If there’s a show or game you like then there’s likely a wiki dedicated to that specific series.
I’m pretty sure there’s a wiki for me actually
here's a really, really fun fact about oda: he actually married one of his characters.
years ago, there was a one piece live action stage show where former cosplayer and model chiaki inaba played nami, the strawhat's navigator. turns out, oda was backstage at that show and met up with chiaki. they hit it off, dated for a few years and then got married. they are living apart, due to oda's work schedule but they are still together after nearly 20 years.
so yeah. oda married his own character. :D
Totally genuine genius level storytelling
Most people (fans included) are not able to understand how incredibly lucky we are to live in the same era as Oda, and how lucky we are to be able to live week by week receiving one more piece of the world he has created.
18:49 Tower of God is a webtoon with the same level of worldbuilding seen in one piece. It's already over 10 years old, with 500+ chapters and counting.
17:50 yeah apparently oda is saving that pirate trademark for something huge
Even a thousand chapter later we still don’t see this famed pirate trademark
Yeah but recently he said he is excited to draw a person with a eyepatch and the end of the wano arc. Damnnnn can’t wait to see who it is.
Let's not forget that Oda actually uses Fan-made One Piece websites and Wiki to check all the previous chapters for his future works because he can't remember all of the characters he made and which devil fruits exist and who holds which power.
One of the things that make One Piece unique compared to other series is that unlike other series, we get to meet the main characters the same time as Luffy meets them which makes us feel like we're travelling with Luffy whereas in most other series we have our whole main cast right from the first episode.
OMG. This. I always wondered what it was that made me feel like part of the family/straw hats, and it’s this 💖
27:55 When taken a bit out of context, I suppose it's easy to say "Good for you" to Doflamingo. But I do wanna say that the hatred that the villagers feel for the Celestial dragons, which Doflamingo is a part of is very well deserved. Celestial dragons will do whatever they want with people because they see them as beings that are lower than dirt, to keeping slave, torture, kidnapping children and forcing them to eat devil fruits. They are HORRIBLE people, and Doflamingo, growing up, had the same mindset as the other celestial dragons. Always asking his father, "where are our slaves?" Of course there are some Celestial dragons that change their ways, one of them being Doflamingo's father, he realized theres more to life and wanted to experience being a normal human being. But he was too naive, and too hopeful; because of the actions and reputation celestial dragons have, they were immediately targeted because they were no longer in the governments protection. It was a way for the villagers to take out their anger on a clan that has ruined their lives forever, sure they are taking out their anger on people who wanted to change (well, mostly, cause Doflamingo was an assh0le even as a child) but they were too blinded by rage to see it. Everyone made mistakes during that moment, and for me, its a bit hard to say who was truly right and who was wrong.
standard reading is right to left. as for going top to bottom while reading in that direction in same panel varies from manga artist to manga artist. sometimes you even have to read into another panel before finishing the previous panel to make sense but that is rare to come across. now another thing to know about reading manga is that traditionally you start at the "back" of the back versus how we are use to starting a book. not all manga are like that but most are.
The thing about most of the videos on topics like this being 3-4 years old, is that they're still pretty up to date. In the years since this video has been posted we've only had two arcs, and one of which was only about four chapters long. The current Wano Country arc of the series has been going for 130+ chapters and almost a total of four years, with a decent chunk left of the story to go there before it finally reaches its conclusion.
I'm sure once Wano ends there will be another wave of videos like these talking about how good everything is because I feel like everything has been improved upon very much since, but at the same time it's still only a single arc that isn't covered by videos like this yet.
damn, Wano is looking to be the most bloated of arcs in the whole series, i hope that Oda isnt padding all this stuff out just to help tie everything together, because i know Oda wants to finish One Piece and he's bound not to leave anything go unresolved.
@@UltimateGamerCC I treat Wano arc as multiple different arcs myself, separated by acts. ACT III alone is (almost?) as long as Dressrosa so even separated, they are full arcs in their own.
@@ahmadmanga Yeah I definitely look at Wano as three arcs put together. It's the actual section comprised of Wano, The Oden Flashback, and The Onigashima stuff making up one giant Wano Saga.
@@ahmadmanga Yeah the arc beggining felt waaaay Diffrent from ither Arcs, it just had that certain feel which no other arc had so far
15:46 I have the 98 volumes that are out in english right now and its give or take about 6 feet tall if you stack them all up
"I love villain back stories most of all."
Me: Oh boy you in for a ride with big moms backstory!
22:52 not really cause Pirate wore eyepatches mainly so they could switch it over to the other eye when going below deck that way the eye in darkness is more accustomed to the low light down there so if he wore an eyepatch in that way he wouldnt be able to see
While I do agree with some of the weak points he pointed out, most of them don't really faze me. The animation has it's weak points sure, but it only gets better as it goes on. And as for female characters, while Oda def could do better with more designs, it's not really something I've ever really cared about. The only one that stands out is the pacing issue for the anime. Some of the arcs drag out certain scenes more than I feel needed, especially when the episodes have a minute or two of recap along with the long intros. Even so, I only really noticed that more and had an issue with it in the last few months. Being caught up and having to wait a week in between each episode only to have a lot of the episode be the exact same as the last is really frustrating. But when you're just starting out and already have 1000 episodes to binge at your own pace you kinda forget about it. I personally still love the anime and do recommend you give it a watch if you're not into reading manga. While everyone would love to see you react to it, Toei also loves to copyright One Piece stuff, so you have to be real careful with the editing. Love the reaction, and would love to see more reactions to other one piece stuff while you decide if and how you want to tackle one piece itself.
Agreed. Really didnt gave a f*ck about its sub-standard animation and bad pacing. The "meat" of One Piece is the God-Tier story. Love the progression. Also, people forget the anime has at times CAUGHT UP with the manga and had to drag the episodes out( Dressrosa is a PRIME example). Its a TV weekly thing. It'll eventually catch up. Not to mention the BREAKS Oda needs to rest and freshen up. Drawing isnt an easy thing (like any other job) especially when theres a deadline.
I first got into One Piece in 2005 and sometimes I have dropped it for a year or two (or my entire tenure in university because I was busy), and catching up is always a hassle but damn, it's so good. I'm currently on my first reread in years, and I stop all the time and just whisper to myself "I love One Piece" or "I love this or that character so much." If you feel like getting into One Piece, I can't help but recommend it.
And yes, Zoro was the first to join the crew.
You were wondering what everyone in the crew gets from joining, besides family. All of them have a dream they can't really fulfill without traveling the world and learning more or becoming stronger. Some of them have even given up on their dreams until Luffy bullies (sometimes literally) them into joining the crew.
You could try watching One Pace, which is a sort of One Piece anime supercut, that cuts out a lot of the filler in anime and tries to address the pacing issues mentioned in the video. So while it's still a lot, you would get through it a tad quicker. I haven't watched it myself (I dropped the anime in... uhhhh... 2013 maybe? or earlier? because of the pacing) and don't really know how they would feel about doing reaction videos to that (editing down would be necessary, I think). But you could also do what a lot of booktubers who got into the manga during covid have done, and watch the series arc by arc and then give a review, with maybe a few clips thrown in. That would also avoid copyright stuff and reduce the stuff you need to edit. Toei, the studio that does One Piece, has a bit of a bloodthirsty reputation when it comes to copyright (look up the Totally Not Mark situation from this winter if you want more info on that).
Doflamingo's father chose to live like a normal human is because despite all their wealth and power, the Celestial Dragons are still slave-owning dicks. In fact he's one of the few that actually seems like a likeable person.
Luffy was 17 at the start now 19 maybe getting close to 20
“I don’t know how to read manga.”
Understandable for a first timer. It’s right to left, it’s the same as a comic but reversed. English versions used to edit them so it’s left to right but that has fallen out of practice.
Manga has become so common now that there is no need to change reading directions.
One of the series you saw early on that you didn't recognize is Yu Yu Hakusho. Despite a slow start, it's by far one of my favorite series I've seen.
My uncle have been reading one piece since highschool. Now he is about 40 year old but still sometime he ask me if there is a new chapter :))) what a journey
2:27 Berserk author's dead, i assume his health can't get any worse than that and Eyepatch dude have no right to criticize Naruto and Bleach author like he didn't aware they all suffer health issues and had to be hospitalized since his bias-ness blinded him the fact that even Oda took medical hiatus from drawing and the fact that chapters of One Piece had skipped from range of one to two weeks.
We all should be understanding towards author's hard work and accepted that not everyone capable of everything perfectly. Be a fan is good and all but don't be a fanatic or toxic one coz i know there's people like that down in the comments section.
Don's father probably knew how bad celestial dragons are and wanted to be a better person. A noble sentiment but still a terrible mistake.
yeah, it was good that he was trying to be a better person, but really the last thing you want anyone to know is that you were once in one of the most despised groups in all the world.
Shouldnt have renounced the title but left to rule their own land. Like how some celestial dragons still has title but changed due to being saved by peasants.
at around 21:00 you asked "what's in it for the crew?" and i just have to say it could be anything for each of them. a place to belong, a group of people that care about you, repaying a debt to someone, hell, even the journey itself.
"I guess Oda is a genuis."
Understatement of the century :D
I got to about 320 chapters of the manga today before this vid dropped. I can say with confidence that this series is amazing
Some spoilers for up to Enies Lobby:
Oda uses the really well known pirate gimmicks solely for important characters. The hook hand pirate is Crocodile, who is one of the first Warlords we meet, is an saga villain, as well as one of the top 3 villains in the story so far. The peg leg pirate is Zeff, Sanji's teacher and father figure who owns the floating restraunt Baratie. The parrot pirate could be Rob Lucci, the final boss of Enies Lobby, and strongest of the assassins of CP 9. It could be argued that Oda hasn't used the parrot pirate yet, because Lucci only has a pigeon. This means that the eye patch pirate will likely be someone important.
Next One Piece video recommendation: "Why One Piece is the King of World Building" by Mr Morj. Lengthy, but so absolutely worth it.
BTW, and I say this as a guy who definitely prefers the manga to the anime, this guy makes it sound like everyone hates the anime. They don't. It's literally the highest-rated anime of all time and many popular One Piece TH-camrs and reviewers (such as KingOfLightning) have stated that they wished they hadn't read the manga first so they could experience the story through the anime.
In my opinion, the slower pace and heavier emphasis on characters helps people who don't have a week to analyze every individual chapter of the manga to fully take in that visual storytelling Oda's mastered, the music adds several times the weight to every emotional moment, the sound effects add several times the weight to every action scene. Not to mention that the anime is actually better-paced than the manga at times, like with the Lougetown, Thriller Bark, and even arguably the current arc.
There is filler episodes and arcs whenever production gets too close to catching up with the manga, but it's also the best filler I've ever seen in an anime. It's all more worldbuilding and character interaction that's been given the thumbs-up from Oda himself. One mini-arc was so good, Oda made it canon right after it came out, and 1-2 Filler Arcs are loved and spoken highly of even by crazed "canon-only" fans. Of course, very little of it is nearly as good as the canon story, and 99% of reactors skip it, but the point isn't to say "watch the filler," but to show how much love and understanding for the source material the anime was made with.
Unfortunately, One Piece has a very loud minority of Manga Elitists, one of the loudest of any anime Fandom I know. It's similar to watching an anime dubbed or subbed: Both options are usually good, but one specific side despises everyone on the other side with a passion.
The manga is still better (for many reasons others have covered more throughly than me) but it's like comparing an experience that will 100% change your life to an experience that will 115% change your life. If the 100% is much easier to experience than the other, you'll probably pick that one.
I started with the manga and it will always be superior to me. That said, I do also love the anime. The voice acting, the soundtrack and visual effects are all now ingrained in my head whenever I read the manga. I do hope one day they either trim it a bit more for better pacing or give it a DragonBall kai treatment (reanimation like Wano?). (I can't 100% speak for fillers since I did skip some though a few I did enjoy).
Honestly as much as I hate the anime, the only thing really bad about it is the pacing. Everything else is either decent(animation) or top tier(Soundtracks)
Zoro is indeed the first member to join the Strawhats (and even hilariously questions what he got himself into).
LONG POST ALERT W/ SPOILER:
As for “what everyone gets out of it,” everyone has their own dreams and most of them connect to getting to Raftel in one way or another anyway: Zoro wants to become the world’s strongest swordsman by beating the current best. Nami wants (or wanted… they don’t bring it up often) to map out the world (or at least the route they’re taking). Usopp wants to become a real man/adventurer by facing his fears and possibly visit the giants’ home of Elbaf. Sanji wants to find the All Blue, a legendary sea in the Grand Line where all the world’s fish live, making it a chef’s paradise. Chopper wants to learn as much about medicine as he can to cure any illness he can. Robin wants to find the Rio Poneglyph (which is in the same location as the One Piece, which is cool) which holds a full century of history that was erased by the World Government. Franky wants the ship he made the crew to travel the world like his mentor’s ship did for the Pirate King. And Brook wants to travel with Luffy and then go back to Reverse Mountain to meet with a friend he left there to tell him about all of it.
oda is actually such a good author and if u dont read one piece u think im just being bias, he actually knows how to do mystery correctly, and makes u fall in love with EVERY CHARACTER i watched a bunch of dwarfs go to war and was ecstatic, every location is like its own world and the people are all different. Foreshadowing is by far one of odas specialties, and hes good at themes, the theme of will and dreams is heavy and its so inspiring
when i watch fairy tale and see natsu scream about friendship for the 1000th time i rip my eyes out, but when i see luffy push past his limits im right in his corner telling him to get tf up u got more in u, oda knows how to show people surpassing their limits without being a cop out and hes not afraid to shw that the main character has no chance in wano currently the main boss has already beat luffy like four times😭😭😭😭 he just keeps coming back
and luffy is the best mc cuz hes perfectly simple, and is the realest dude u would ever meet which is why even tho in marineford he was so weak compared to everyone fighting, they stood up for him cuz he showed more courage than anybody everytime they slapped him down he got back and just kept charging for his brother and when i say outmatched i mean OUTMATCHED almost every major player in that war at the time could one shot kill luffy but he never cared he just kept going
and personally the best part for me is the theatrics, especially in the anime, odas fights and a lot of important moments are done in a theatric way and it feels so good to watch, like the first time watchign robin say "i want to live" or in fights the first time when i saw luffy finally defeated doffy it felt like i could breathe again i was on the edge of my seat cuz i was like 11 lmao but now i pay taxes and its still goated
Really glad you watched this one. I actually forgot on the previous Super Eyepatch Wolf video where I was doing recommendations, he's also done three videos on Wrestling. The second one, about longterm storytelling in general and The Undertaker in particular, was trapped in Copyright HFIL for a while, but seems to be back now. I know you've said "Wrestling's fake" and asked about the appeal once or twice, and that's what the first ones about so it's another I'd definitely recommend. I think that one is "Professional Wrestling is stupid and beautiful and I love it". And then the third is about heels (wrestling villains basically). I'd recommend the first one at the very least as it does a great job going into different aspects, some cool history and storylines, as well as the weird ways that real life events and scripted in-universe stuff can blend together and influence one another to the point of being indistinguishable from one another. I remember I once commented "Wrestling is a fictional universe in which we all canonically exist and can interact with the characters", I just find that concept interesting.
As for One Piece, I'd definitely recommend the Mother's Basement ones as well. I was also thinking about if there were any games that would make getting the base story easier. I know that Pirate Warriors 1 covers from the start to just before the time skip, and 3 covers from the time skip to midway into Dressrossa and then has a game-only ending since it wasn't done at the time it was made (Pirate Warriors 2 was an original story). But I'm not sure if there are any others that cover large chunks of it in an enjoyable way. But maybe something to look into for the gaming channel given the difficulties of the actual show. Romance Dawn for the 3ds covers a good chunk of the pre-timeskip stuff, however I haven't played it myself and the reviews I've read were not good, so probably not a good way to experience it the first time.
The Strawhat crew members all have their own dreams that they want to accomplish as well and Luffy wants to help them do that. Also Nico Robin is probably the 2nd most important character in story but I won't say why in case you decide to read the manga or watch the show.
I discovered you yesterday, binged the Nostalgia Critic and Ygotas Playlists and now this. How dare you take over my life like that!😂
Oof I’m sorry!
Oda stated that once a character with eye patch appears in the story then that mean the end is truly near. We have yet to see a eye patch character. Even though Oda stated a few years ago that the story is in its endgame stages.
Just means the eyepatch man is coming soon
@@ReiseLukas BB could lose an eye and wear an eye patch. Or Rocks or Wang zhi could have an eye patch👀.
Will the One Piece channel be called “theduckgoesARG”?
Now that’s an interesting idea
@@theduckgoesmoo I vouch for it
When it comes to One Piece I highly suggest watching up until the time skip and pick up the manga there. However, you could keep watching from the time skip
The crew mates didnt join for the treasure. They all have their separate dreams and tagging along in Luffy's journey is kinda the best way to achieve it. Zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman and that title is held by a pirate, Nami wants to draw a full map of the world, so travelling with Luffy just makes sense, Sanji wants to find a mythic sea where you can find fish from all seas in the world, Chopper wants to cure every diseases, so going with Luffy helps him get all the possible knowledge, Robin wants to learn the whole history of the world, which happens to be tightly linked to the One Piece, Franky build their ship and his dream is for that ship to travel the whole world, so he wants to make sure the ship is good enough to make it, Usopp wants to become a brave warrior of the sea, so becoming a pirate just makes sense. Kinda amazing how they all have different goals that can be achieved by going with Luffy to find the One Piece
fun fact: according to Oda-chi once we see a character with an eyepatch in One Piece it means the end of One Piece is near so buckle up boy it's coming...
This guy's got another video that is called where to start or something like that about one piece and he goes into detail about different things and also talk sales a little bit and gives you a couple of interesting insights into some characters. Yeah I think it's called One piece where to start by super eyepatch wolf
If you want to do a manga reaction/review instead of one from an anime, it is available for free on VIZ media for the first read of any chapter.
As for video suggestion, if you plan to continue watching a lot of content like this before starting the story, then I suggest ‘the breathtaking world of One Piece”, no major spoilers linked to characters or story but they do show all the locations you will visit and more (most of which you already know of). Anyways, thanks like always for the reaction!
7years left.
Nice pfp and username
I think people over hate the anime, it’s much worse when you are caught up because you wait a week for the story not to progress much but when you have all the episodes available I rarely found pacing to be an issue. It’s just my opinion though
11:00 had me fucking convulsing trying to fight back the tears. My god that frame still gets me in the feels. RIP
20:58 each character has their own dreams that coincide with each other. Sanji wants to find the all blue a place where all fish from the seas come to so he has to travel through sea and he follows luffy because luffy captivated him and protected his drema for him. Ussop wants to be a brave man and what is better than be on the pirate king crew to become brave because the pirate king will pass through a lot of challenges. Nami wants to create a map of the entire world and grand part of one piece world is the sea so follow the pirates, Robin wants to find the history of the lost era and the only way to find it is through sea, franky wanted to create the best boat and he already did kind of but he wants to see where the pirate king can take his boat, brook wants to find laboon a whale that luffy promissed to come back after becoming the king of pirates, zoro wants to be the beat swordsman in the world and what is better to find opponents than being in the crew of the pirate king, chopper wants 2 things follow the doctor that saved his life and he said that the skulls of pirate flags are the freedom and that he should follow it that's part of the reason he is following luffy the some other part is that he wants to find a cure that can heal all diseases in the world so it's better to go to all kind of places and see the diseases, and jinbei is completing his promise to luffy dead brother and a promise to luffy itself.these are some part of what they gain following luffy but most of the part like 65% follow luffy because he is captivating and he stood up for each one of them and their dreams, his charismatic is what makes people follow luffy and desire to see his dream/goal being fulfilled.
Brook wants to find laboon duck (I get spelling errors I GET THEN ALL THE Time

People complain about the length of One Piece despite there being other popular series that are twice as long. Take Golgo 13 for example, made in 1968 and still going strong today, second to One Piece in manga sells.
So far, I've read 700 chapters of one piece. That's about 80 Volumes and it took about a decade to read them. It's pretty good. One reason it took so song because I had to wait for the volumes to be released.
Ahhh
@Order and MadnessI live in America. And as far as I know, there are about 91 volumes released. I haven't checked recently. It's been a few years since I read One Piece and I'm currently reading other manga.
Yeah funnily enough Oda tries really hard to avoid pirate stereotypes in the story.
No pirate has had an eyepatch yet and only 1 in the story has had a peg leg
He specifically wants the pirate stereotypes for only one important character each. Crocodile was the hook hand pirate and Oda has stated a character with an eyepatch will appear one day.
If you like this guy's videos on One Piece I'd highly recommend DBZimran's Bleach videos. In particular, his rebuttal videos towards Eyepatch Wolf's Downfall of Bleach and his "Apology" video. They're a great watch that shows just how great Bleach's story and characters are, and also how a certain video caused the internet to turn on it just as it was wrapping up.
I grow with one piece I was 7 when I watch it
Now im 22
And Everytime I rewatch I still suprised thankfull to my young version to love this anime
Fun fact in the one piece world since luffy left his village to become a pirate has been from 2 to 3 year. Luffy was 17 when he started and now Currently is 19 years old.
Do not be worried about that critique of the anime, it is not nearly as awful as people like eyepatch wolf claim it to be and the voice acting for both versions does make it worth it. The funimation dub is one of the best I've ever heard and they'll be caught up with the japanese version pretty soon too.
People who own some first edition One Piece stuff should hang on to it. It's gonna be like Mona Lisa one day
Gintama and One piece- for me these two series can never be recreated, they are irreplaceable.
Highly recommend watching it if you can find the time. Well worth it.
Just find a list of the episodes you should skip though, as it'll cut down on the unnecessary filler episodes (with a handful actually being fun or worth the watch), and let you keep up with the main narrative.
So yes. Oda draws ALL of the characters by himself, by hand. He has assistants that help with drawing background scenes and with some of the shading and finer details, but he has expressed that he alone makes sure to draw each and every living creature in the whole manga. AND Oda wrote the whole series, with only small bits of help from editors and adding in characters on whims. He is an absolute madlad
Why is this man not praised more?? Like really
@@theduckgoesmoo He's not called God Oda (or Goda) for nothing here in the community.
Can you react to The Captain & Swordsman from GrandLineReview. It’s a One Piece analysis video on Luffy and Zoro’s relationship. Also Zoro was the second crew mate and is regarded as the “vice captain.” So you meet him like episode 2.
Little fun fact: if you don't know (somehow) one piece has some fan games. One of the most popular is in Roblox, called Blox Fruits.
Here's another one I found on the app store, One piece: bounty rush I think? But yeah it had bounty rush. Hope you play atleast one game, thank you for reading and have a good day/night.
Lol!
SuperEyepatchWolf: "Don Flamingo declared war on all of existence and burn it to the ground"
theduckgoesmoo: "Good for you!"
Whenever you do decide to watch or read the series I would recommend finding or having a fan make a guide on what episodes are filler and when to take a break to avoid burn out.
Oh burn out won’t be an issue it’ll just be the incredibly long series and copyright that are the problems
Filler in One Piece is still good compared to every other Anime TBH, And I especially Recommend the G8 Filler Arc as it is prolly the best Filler Arc in all of Anime
The Special Episodes However I can understand Skipping lol, Don't need to see the one off Detective Episode or other Holiday things
the One Piece is a tangible treasure
and it is:
the entirety of Dragon Ball in manga form translated into English but still read from right to left :3
"Work could wear an.eye patch"
No! The scar on display is too badass to hide behind an eye patch!
did he really pronounce Mariejois "mari yoce?" he said it in Spanish instead of French
btw Marie Jois(e) means the happy Marie
I was wondering if you'd also react to the 24th one piece opening called "Paint".. in the opening reactions from you, you had reacted to the special opening from the 1000th episode and not the actual 24th opening 😅😅
Oh yeah I probably should and the 25th one
@@theduckgoesmoo also, now that you know a little more about this anime, maybe it'll be a lot more hyped ^^
U should totally react to other videos by supereyepatchwolf, like his JJBA retrospectives. His channel is awesome.
its hard to tell the exact in world length of time do to travel not always being noted there was a two year skip and if i remeber off the top of my head in world its been around four to five years
a anime i really like is Jojos Bizarre Adventure super eyepatch wolf has a video called why you should watch/read Jojos Bizarre Adventure he has 5 parts of it.
Do you not realize that most lesser media than One Piece have Wiki pages? They in and of themselves are not surprising. The detail by which someone edits the lesser ones are usually the surprising parts.
19:32 Fix that immediately. Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest anime of all time.
Blackbeard is the only fit person in the series who deserves an eye patch and I think Oda will come up with a way for him to have that in the future
I am glad to be alive while one piece was being written. INSANE
"dont tell logan paul" brother you made me spit out my food with laughter XD
Watching one piece is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. Do not be intimidated by its length. Once you’re caught up, you will wish you weren’t lol. Trust me.
I would say reading one piece and then reviewing each arc would be better than reaction it will be faster first of all as current arc convert 2 ch into 3ep so it slow but great if i had an option when I watch op for the first time I would be reading manga than watch the iconic scene in animes though anyhow i finished op in 1 month when it has 890 ep and then finish manga in another 2 months
Though ep reaction or arc review whatever you do I will watch
Something I'm thinking you could maybe try doing would be to do a manga reaction of One Piece, where you read it and then give your thoughts and opinions on the bit that you read in a video.
Every member of the crew has a dream so they have something to accomplish even if Luffy dies or the crew disbands
To answer your question about in world time: about 3 years or a little less, but also keep in mind that the main characters took 2 years off to train, so that's about 6 months of this little rubber man and his buddies wre king everything, 2 years where everyone could catch their breath, then another 5 months of even more tomfuckery
If you start watching one piece I'm in. I'm caught up and watching week by week.
That would be a huge undertaking
You guessed big mom had a devil fruit power but she didn’t eat a fruit to get her power…
She ate a person… she got the power by cannibalizing her “mother” (the person who adopted her)
She kinda deserved it.
@@kisdota she wasn’t a good person but I don’t think anybody deserves death by cannibalism. If someone does deserve death it should never be by cannibalism
If you wanna see what the world of One piece look like, there is this awesome video where you see clips of the islands shown in the anime.
If you have the time, it's call, "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" by "Strawhat V"
Highly recommended
Next Thursday!! It’s already been recorded!
If you do choose to read it, there is an in colour version.
"Are you riding on an oar?"
How else is a beautiful young shinigami supposed to sail souls down the River Styx?
I actually dream about saying "Yeah, One Piece? I was watching it when it was still ongoing, what a ride..."
Hahaha really?
A single OP episode is like 17-22 minutes, so if you watch 1 episode per day you could be at the current arc in like 3 years haha
That is…. Insane
One piece has some incredible moments, i would say better than most anime/manga out there. But it's hard to ignore the in-between said moments. Rob Lucci vs Luffy is one of the highlights of it's arc... But to get there... There is alllll this other crap around it that makes the pacing hellish. Cutting again and again from it to accompany what's happening with other ppl.
That being said as well not all of one-piece arcs are amazing. Some are downright boring... And getting through them is such a slow process. Even more lately as oda has mastered the ability of stalling to the highest level i could ever imagine... The current arc began on chapter 909 and it is still not over at chapter 1040. That's 140 chapter... 140 weeks, approximately 2 years and 9 months no counting any breaks he took. 2 years and 9 months on an arc. 1 arc.
Will you do the full reaction on patreon
All of my content will be free to everyone although I will have to make a Patreon tier solely to pay an editor to make my videos possible
One piece is a series that i have GBs of data on my phone because i'll be reading and think wow that's a great panel *screenshot*
Personally I avoid the anime because of the pacing, but they have to drag out 3 manga panels to 5 mins of slow mo because they produce episodes so fast they keep catching up to oda and have add a bunch of filler until oda puts out another 10 chapters.
Please look „the breathtaking world of one piece“
In One Piece world only two years have pass, there is not character development in the straw hats Sanji enters the chat teme
There is a project called "One Pace" that is a fan project of re-editing all the episodes of one piece to fix the pacing problems so it correspond more to the manga, this also has the effect of drasticaly reducing the amount of episodes it has.
There are a lot of people that are really strict about not watching edited episodes, but i still think its a good and a way less intimidating way to get introduced to the serie.
one pace is awesome. legit liked it much more than just watching toeis version of one piece, even if it was a rewatch.
The issue with things like One Pace is that it literally cuts out EVERYTHING that isn't in the manga which makes things impossible to follow if it's your first time through the series. Things cut and jump around so sporadically that you're going to struggle keeping up unless you're very familiar with the series. It also straight up removes a lot of things that the anime does better then the manga, like A LOT of the filler that's been added in Wano to make things more cohesive.
There's no shortcuts for getting into the series. You either read or watch everything if you want the experience. It's length isn't something that will be a negative once you're actually into it.
Definitely watch his video on why you should watch Hajime no Ippo
In fact... watch Hajime no Ippo itself too while you're at it. LMAO
I dunno why, but you just look like a sporty dude, and I feel like you'd have lots of fun with a boxing anime like that.
Edit: If you do watch Ippo... go for sub... not dub.... you'll thank me. Normally I'm more open to dubs than most... But not for Ippo
All the straw hats have there own goals and dreams and those goals progress as luffy makes it closer to becoming pirate king
Could you react to "the breathtaking world of One Piece" by 'Strawhat V'?
It's the best video I've seen so far in terms of giving you a feel of the One Piece World.😁
Next week!!! It’s already recorded and everything!
@@theduckgoesmoo Nice, I can't wait!
"Sailing the grand blue" never watch a single episode of one piece and trying to convince me 🤣
review by Arc .. if you don't have time or resource? Just read First saga blue east...and make a video about it
If you do react to One Piece: don't let anyone pressure you into a pace you don't like. It's a long series and it's more about enjoying the journey, not the destination. People will try to pressure you to do a ton of episodes fast. As always, loved the vid. ^^
And knowing me I’ll try to make as many as physically possible lol
"Zoro would look good with an eyepatch"
funny you should mention eyepatch's
